Check Your System Requirements

This kind of technical problem can occur when your PC does not have the minimum requirements or specs. So you need to make sure your PC meets the basic minimum requirements.

Run FIFA 23 as Administrator

  • Make sure you launch the game from an Administrator account.
  • Select the FIFA 23.exe icon and press the right-click button.
  • Select the Run as Administrator option.
  • This will ensure you have all the administrator privileges and permissions that could prevent you from playing FIFA 23.

Reinstall the Anti-Cheat Program

Follow the steps below to reinstall the anti-cheat program:

  • Go to the file directory of the anti-cheat program. The default file directory will be: Local Disk:\Program Files\EA\AC
  • Now, launch the Anticheat program and select the Uninstall option.
  • To launch FIFA 23, you need to run the Steam or Origin launcher.
  • When you launch FIFA 23, the anti-cheat program will be reinstalled.
  • Restart your PC and launch the game again.
  • Make sure you select the Run as Administrator option when launching the Steam or Origin launcher.

Disable Antivirus and Windows Firewall

While Windows Firewall and antivirus programs protect you against malicious threats, they can interfere with a running game. So disable them temporarily. Launch FIFA 23 to check whether the launch problems persist.

Update Your Graphics Drivers

You may run into launch problems if your installed graphics drivers are not updated. Make sure the latest versions of your graphics drivers are installed. For that, you can go to AMD's and Nvidia's official websites to download the latest drivers. After installing the updated drivers, launch FIFA 23.
